The most Caucasian last name, meaning the most common last name among Caucasian or white Americans and Europeans, depends on region, but in the United States, the most common surnames among white Americans include Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, and Jones, which are of English origin. Smith is the most common last name in the US overall and is predominantly held by Caucasians of English ancestry, meaning blacksmith. In terms of specifically Caucasian or white ethnicity, English surnames like Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Jones, Miller, Davis, Wilson, Moore, and Taylor are most common. In Europe, the most Caucasian last names vary by country. In England, Smith is most common, in Germany, Müller meaning miller, in Ireland, Murphy, in Scotland, Smith, in France, Martin. The term Caucasian itself is broad and includes people of European, Middle Eastern, and North African descent, but in US census usage it often means white. So the most statistically Caucasian last name in the US is Smith, which is held by over 2.4 million people, majority white. Other very Caucasian surnames include Anderson, Thomas, Jackson, White, and Harris. All these are English, Scottish, or Germanic in origin. So Smith is generally considered the most common Caucasian last name in the English-speaking world.
